On this page, create, edit, and delete server access configurations and server groups that give you control over interaction between WebStorm and servers. Anytime you are going to use a server, you need to define a server access configuration, no matter whether your server is on a remote host or on your computer. For more information about working with server access configurations and server groups, refer to Configure synchronization with a server and Organize servers into groups.

Use the toolbar buttons and context menu commands to manage the list of configurations and server groups.
